So twelve weeks (plus or minus a bit) ago, I swallowed a watermelon seed. This Friday we should be able to hear the heartbeat. Yep, you read that right. We are knocked up with number three here.
I was going to post those pictures that women take showing their growing belly, and I thought it'd be fun to take one every few weeks or so, so you could all see the progress. But then my higher reasoning kicked in and said – Uh, it's just not as cute the third time, and really does everyone want to see that, and most importantly, do you really think you can handle that type of commitment and level of laughter?
So you get my artistic rendering here instead.
We are excited, and well into the figuring-out-where-exactly-we're-going-to-put-another-one phase. We are planning another home birth, and despite everyone's urging, we will be perfectly happy with another boy. Three was not exactly planned, so it's not like we were going for a girl or anything. We're fine either way, though our families are clearly already dreaming in pink.
On another note, as of last week, we no longer have Josie. This was an excruciatingly hard decision for us, quite painful, and I will probably blog all about it at some point, but I'm just not ready yet. She's been missed terribly already and even typing these few lame sentences gets me choked up, so that's all I have to say about it right now.
Besides giving birth this year, I do have a few other goals. I'm not really the resolution type, but there are a couple of things I want to do different or better. You probably thought things were crazy enough as it was around here (I know I did!), but it's one of my goals this year to blog more frequently. I joined wordpress.com's Post-A-Week challenge, and even found myself a blogging buddy. So look for more updates more often – baby ones included here on the blog.
We've been discussing a community type of gardening arrangement with our neighbor and a few friends this summer, and we've done some prep work and ordered seed catalogs. This is a big project and I plan to tell you all about it this year. I'm very excited!
It's also a goal of mine to get our back yard patio completed. We started collecting sandstone flags for it last summer. We have a way to go, but I'd like to see it done before baby comes.
There are some other things too, but this first trimester thing has me worn out and nap time is looking pretty prime right now. In all, I'm looking forward to 2011. A lot of changes this year already, and I'm sure many more. But I hope they will all be good, even if they're not all easy.
Until next week (if not sooner)!

Lions upset Miners in extra innings 14-11: Dani Eiler hits two run triple in the 8th for Etna
Thanks to a clutch triple from a freshman, the Etna Lady Lions varsity softball team earned a 14-11 upset win on Tuesday against the Yreka Lady Miners.
In a game where both teams had the hot hand on offense, the score was knotted up at 11-11 after seven innings. Going into extra innings the top of the eighth, Etna quickly had two runners on base when freshman Dani Eiler came to bat. Eiler got the Lions fans to their feet when she smashed a triple deep into the outfield as two runs scored. Etna scored once more to make things 14-11. The Miners were unable to come back the bottom of the inning as the Lions earned the victory.
"I was really excited," Eiler said about her triple. "It's the biggest hit I've ever had. I was hoping it would go over the fence." When it didn't, she said, she saw her head coach Harold Bennett waving her into third as she quickly ran to the base.
Bennett said that it's the first time in awhile that Etna has downed Yreka. It's always a great feeling to beat a much larger school like Yreka, especially one so close by where many of the players on both teams know each other so well, he said.
"The rivalry is big but it's friendly," Bennett said. "So many of the players on both teams are friends. It's like we're distant cousins, but competitive ones."
Yreka head coach Ken Dysert said that while it was certainly a disappointing loss, he was proud of his team overall and the way they were able to score runs throughout the game. But, he said, his squad did not capitalize on scoring chances in the later innings as the pitchers struggled on Tuesday.
"I think it was something for us to learn from," he said. "I hope they learn to be more selective(on pitches) and execute better."
Yreka was up 2-0 in the second on its home field before Etna earned three runs the bottom of the inning to take a 3-2 advantage. The Lady Miners responded with five runs in the third to take a 7-3 lead. After four innings Yreka led 11-6 as the Lions proceeded to get back in the game and eventually come away with the win.
"It's cetainly a great confidence booster for us," Bennett said about the victory.
The two teams met in the season opener for both squads on March 8 at the small schools tournament at Redding sponsored by Anderson High. Yreka won the game 9-1.
For Etna on Tuesday, Eiler went 2-for-4 with four runs, two RBI's, and a triple. Sage Gomes went 4-for-6 with three runs and three RBI's. Kortni Bennett had a run and two RBI's. Renee Finley had four runs and an RBI. Jasmine Bigham finished with three RBI'S.
For Yreka, Megan Hassell had three RBI's and two runs. Chantell Fraser was 2-for-4 with two runs. Abbi Hansen went 1-for-1 with three runs. Bre Ruellas went 1-for-3 with three runs. Courtney Huston had a run and a stolen base andTaylor Brown finished with two stolen bases.
Etna improved to 5-4 overall while Yreka fell to 4-2-1 overall. Etna is off the rest of the week while Yreka is at the large schools tournament in Redding sponsored by Anderson starting on Friday.

The sports world is buzzing about tomorrow's anticipated announcement of a fifth racing president.
Major League Baseball, not generally a fan of gambling in baseball, published its own odds on its Cut 4 blog, listing John F. Kennedy as a 5-to-2 favorite. Apparently Barack Obama's not far behind, but Grover Cleveland is listed as a 1000-to-1 long shot.
Yahoo's Big League Stew put forth their own presidential odds, giving Grover Cleveland only a slightly better chance at 500-to-1. Their top pick: Ronald Reagan ("That winning smile, that Brylcreem hair"), at 5-to-1. Arizona Senator John McCain added his vote for Reagan (with a nod to Teddy) via Twitter.
The always great Dan Steinberg of the Post's DC Sports Bog invited his readers to chime in at a special Washington Post forum devoted to the topic, where fans have put forth a range of off-the-wall ideas ranging from FDR in a wheelchair, to Confederate president Jefferson Davis (to "bring out more fans from VA"). Ouch.
At The City Paper, Will Sommer that William Howard Taft would "represent all of the lesser known presidents." Taft also shows up as the well-reasoned pick at the Nationals 101 blog.
Several outlets are asking their readers to chime in, with mixed results. At The Huffington Post, the leading candidate so far is "None of the above."
CNN is running a Political Gut Check poll on Facebook. Andrew Jackson is hanging on to an early lead in a WTOP listener poll. This after Teddy's 5th cousin Franklin Roosevelt (who married Teddy's niece Eleanor), emerged as the fan favorite in a DCist reader poll from the end of last season. Note that poll ruled out voting for any presidents that came after Eisenhower.
Perhaps it seems a bit like piling on, but in keeping with the spirit of things, here are my own odds:
John F. Kennedy (3-to-1): If you're looking for a president with a unique personality and charisma, somebody who's iconic yet distinct from the Rushmore 4 and easy to caricature, then JFK could be your man.
Richard Nixon (5-to-1): If you want a president who doesn't show up for every race, but appears every once in a while to interfere with things, then "Tricky Dick" fits the bill perfectly. You can also count on a strong contingent of Nixon fans to get riled up over it.
William Henry Harrison (20-to-1): Dark comedy would be pretty groundbreaking territory for the Nationals, but the potential is too great to ignore. The president known mainly for dying just after his inauguration could be the Nats' new designated loser, finding creative ways to repeat his fate nightly along the warning track.
Zachary Taylor/Millard Fillmore/Chester Arthur/Warren Harding (25-to-1): It's a tie between these four presidents who would also make worthy candidates for "loser" status when compared to the Rushmores. They share in common a relative obscurity, an indistinguished record of service, and importantly, a funny name.
Gerald R. Ford (30-to-1): If you're looking to replace Teddy Roosevelt as the mischaracterized loser, then look no further. Ford was an All American football star, yet after tripping in public a couple of times, Saturday Night Live successfully turned his national image into that of a bumbling fool. You can bet if the Nats continued that tradition, they'd rile up some Ford fans.
William Howard Taft (35-to-1): Lots of fans on Twitter think our only 300 pound president would make a great racing caricature. I'm just not sure the fat jokes would pass the PC test or be terribly sustainable.
Ronald Reagan (40-to-1): It's hard to argue with Yahoo's top pick, as Reagan is among the most easily caricatured presidents, but his recency and still-controversial standing in this highly-political town tells me the Nats will shy away.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (50-to-1): He's iconic, with his own coin and his own memorial on the mall. The prospect of a FDR in a motorized wheelchair carries a ton of possibilities; but the Nats already have one larger-than-life Roosevelt.
Bill Clinton (100-to-1): See Reagan, above. Plus he's still alive.

FOR ONE REASON AND ANOTHER, I found myself in Midtown Manhattan three times last week and — to my surprise — enjoyed it. Even when I lived in Manhattan eons ago, I was a downtown person, rarely venturing north of 14th Street. After I moved to Brooklyn in the late '70s, my visits to "the city" grew more and more infrequent. Weeks could go by without my having any need or desire to cross the river (especially after Brooklyn got a few shoe stores).
Yet, there I recently was, three days in succession, suddenly feeling my eyes had been opened to something immeasurably rich, complex, and vibrant I hadn't noticed before. I found myself searching for signs of vintage Manhattan, for remnants of the pre-skyscraper era, dwarfed now by towering neighbors but still standing proud, like the little house, top, in Virginia Lee Burton's children's book of the same name, that got gradually engulfed by new construction.
On Day 1, I had a doctor's appointment in the East 30's. I noticed a brick carriage house I had never seen before, below, and wondered how long old tenements with fire escapes, cornices, and storefronts at street level could possibly remain in place, unprotected by Landmarks and subject to the relentless march of commercial development.
There are some gorgeous intact rows of 19th century townhouses on the side streets of Murray Hill, but I also noted surviving row houses here and there on the avenues. The grimy pair on Lexington, right, have that forlorn look of Burton's little house, but you know they won't be moved to the country (as the fictional cottage eventually was) but likely torn down when the economy commands it.
I took pleasure in noting old one-story structures like the two, below. By sheer coincidence, I ended up having dinner with a friend two nights later in the Art Deco building on the right, which now houses Tokyo, one of the first sushi restaurants in New York when it opened in 1969. A welcome discovery, it will become my go-to sushi place in midtown from now on, with mostly Japanese patrons and bartenders in kimono who have clearly been there from the first.
The following day, I met a friend for lunch at Schnipper's on East 23rd Street, but our timing was off. It's fine when quiet — a cafeteria-style burger place with a self-consciously retro vibe — but this time, it was a madhouse. We couldn't hear ourselves over the din and repaired instead to Turkish Kitchen on Third Avenue for authentic, scrumptious, and well-priced food. But I was still seeking signs of Olde New York, and later — for future reference when in need of a quiet, unpopular lunchtime spot — walked around in search of a place I had happened into one day last year, whose name I couldn't remember. It was decidedly old-fashioned; I was one of the only customers, and I ate something like mushrooms on toast.
I found it under scaffolding on East 28th Street: a British pub called The Churchill, above, with a menu of fish'n'chips, shepherd's pie, mushy peas, and so on. It was even quieter than I remembered; there wasn't a soul in the place. It probably does better at happy hour.
The following day, early for a dinner date, I emerged from the B train at the corner of 42nd Street and 6th Avenue, looking forward to a walk through Bryant Park. Below, my favorite warm-weather outdoor lunch spot, The Bryant Park Cafe, shuttered for the season.
I found the park itself transformed for the holiday season. Instead of the quietude and fall plantings I expected, there was a tacky Christmas fair, with merchandise a half-step up from that on Canal Street, set up in booths around a temporary ice skating rink, below, over the expansive lawn. It was lively and possibly even "magical," there in the shadow of the New York Public Library. But the music (think Frank Sinatra singing 'New York, New York') was hokey and I wondered when ice skating in the heart of Manhattan's business district had become so popular that the nearby Wollman Rink in Central Park and the one at Rockfeller Center weren't enough. (The Bryant Park rink is free; skate rentals $14.)
Then, naturally, I stepped into the library and spent the next hour leisurely enjoying its always-worthwhile exhibits. The current "Lunch Hour NYC," open until February, is great fun. I actually learned a lot, including the origin of the term "lunch" (from the Spanish lonja, meaning a chunk or piece you can hold in your hand). There are etchings of Victorian-era Wall Streeters in top hats and derbies wolfing it down at an early lunch counter, and menus from diners to Delmonico's. I watched all five film clips of scenes set in Horn & Hardart's automats. and then signed up for my first New York Public Library card in decades (the last one didn't even have a bar code).
My friend and I intended to meet up at one of New York City's genuine hidden treasures: The Campbell Apartment, above, on the mezzanine at the back of Grand Central Station, a coffered-ceiling, intricately painted relic of the late 19th century, when railroad barons had their whiskey and cigars there. It being Friday night at 6:30, we were unable even to enter, so thick were the crowds. That's when Barbara suggested Tokyo, where we sat for two hours at the bar sampling odd dishes that both the menu and waitress stated were "not recommended for first time." But as we are old sushi hands, we loved them, as we did the Japanese rice vodka.
Altogether satisfied with my Manhattan experience, I've decided I am not bored with Manhattan. There's still a lot for me to discover. Paraphrasing Samuel Johnson about London, that must mean I am not, after all (as I've sometimes feared), bored with life.

Earlier this year, online retailer Newegg knocked out a software patent that would reach the heights of infamy only after its death—a patent claiming to own the idea of an online "shopping cart." Soverain Software had used that patent (and a few others) to score untold tens of millions in royalty payments. Its fully fleshed-out website is an empty husk, with phone numbers and e-mail addresses that do nothing. At trial, the company admitted to never having made a sale. Soverain is a group of lawyers who hold a batch of patents.
Newegg's victory over Soverain was total; the patents wiped out were key to the troll's success. Soverain, which was expecting more big payments after defeating Avon and Victoria's Secret at trial, was now going to come up empty. "Now, nobody has to pay Soverain jack squat for these patents," Newegg Chief Legal Officer Lee Cheng told Ars after the January ruling.
But Soverain actually had one final trick up its sleeve—a desperate attempt to pull victory from the jaws of defeat that was, in Cheng's telling, effectively based on a typographical error. The appeals court had invalidated claim 34 of the "shopping cart" patent, not claim 35. Instead of allowing what Newegg said was a mistake to be corrected, Soverain tried to literally make a federal case out of it. The patent company asked for a re-hearing from the panel, as well as from the full "en banc" court, saying that after months and months of arguing with Newegg over the value and validity of claim 34, it was actually claim 35 that should have been considered all along.
This was a desperate, desperate ploy by Soverain, because we basically wiped out their franchise," said Cheng, now that the last-ditch effort is finally dead. "They were expecting God knows how many hundreds of millions of dollars over time."
Asked this week whether Soverain might continue its fight, Cheng himself appealed to an even higher power than the courts. "Please God, let Soverain file a petition for cert to the Supreme Court," said Cheng. "That would be so funny. Please make my day."
Looking for a big break in small differences
To understand Soverain's claims, a brief description of how patent claims work is helpful. Patent claims are either "independent" and stand on their own, or they are "dependent" and connected to another claim.
In the shopping cart patent, the key claim is claim 34, which describes the operation of a shopping cart. It says, in part:
at least one buyer computer for operation by a user desiring to buy products;
at least one shopping cart computer; and
a shopping cart database connected to said shopping cart computer;
said buyer computer and said shopping cart computer being interconnected by a computer network;
And goes on to describe other elements that would be needed. Claims 35-38 describe various incarnations of a shopping cart, with other small additions. As the litigation went ahead, Soverain, like any patent holder, was forced to narrow which specific claims it was going to use against Newegg. It settled on claim 35.
However, when it came to validity, much of the actual argument involved the lawyers discussing and arguing about claim 34—after all, that contained most of the description of the "invention." When Newegg's lawyers sought to show that this was all old news—as it eventually did, using CompuServe's online mall as "prior art"—it referenced claim 34. Newegg sought to shoot down claim 34, with the understanding that the success or failure of claim 35 was going to rise or fall with claim 34. The only thing that claim 35 added is a difference in when a "payment message," such as a receipt or invoice, gets created.
Importantly, Soverain's lawyers never contested that argument, and simply engaged with Newegg over claim 34. That continued—until they suffered a stunning loss. A few days after the ruling came out, Newegg sent a letter asking for the panel to correct "claim 34" to read "claim 35." Soverain, realizing that the discrepancy could be one more piece of ammo in its final effort to maintain its trolling empire, wrote its own letter to the court asserting that claim 35 had a "material" difference and asked to fully brief the issue.
The court allowed the additional briefing, in a terse March order, sounding somewhat annoyed. The district court and parties had talked about claim 34; the trial proceedings and record both referred to claim 34; both Newegg and Soverain had talked about claim 34 on appeal; and yet the jury form did indeed read claim 35, and Soverain was now saying the difference was crucial.
Hoping his next foe has the "balls" to go to trial
In June, Soverain filed its 30-page brief arguing about the major differences between claim 34 and claim 35. Newegg responded, noting that until Soverain lost, it had never once claimed the differences between claims 34 and 35 were meaningful in any way.
The three-judge panel considered the arguments and now has issued its final order, agreeing—again—with Newegg. Soverain managed to drag out seven more months of litigation, with nothing new to show.
"On this rehearing, Soverain has not provided any new information concerning the specific limitation of claim 35," stated the appeals panel. "The supplemental briefing reinforces the absence of dispute that the element in claim 35 is in the CompuServe Mall prior art."
The panel also forwarded Soverain's request for an en banc rehearing to the full court; that was denied as well. Soverain's final attempt was shut down.
"This isn't a very substantial ruling," said Cheng. "This was just a Hail Mary on Soverain's part, because they wanted to revive their business so desperately."
Cheng's only regret is that he has only one scheduled patent trial to look forward to, against a controversial patent-holder called TQP Development, which claims an Internet-spanning patent on SSL, the widely used encryption protocol. Newegg is currently scheduled to clash with TQP in November.
"I hope they don't wuss out on this case," said Cheng. "I hope they have the balls to try it. I am not optimistic that they will, because it would be a big mistake on their part to let this case go to trial."

Many of my conversations with my kids about safety have focused on how to deal with 'in-person' threatening situations. I've talked some about cyber-bullying, especially since we live near where
took place, but not really about online threats. And, then
. Our small, upscale college community of Amherst, Mass., was upended Monday when a Facebook post stating a student was bringing a gun to the high school campus came to light. The threat to the school was discovered on
a 'Confessions' page set up by one of the students
at the high school and was pretty direct: An investigation by school and town officials concluded that the student in question had not carried,, nor had he intended to carry, a gun into the school. At a community meeting Monday night, the superintendent of schools said she discovered the post during one of her regular checks of the Facebook page. These 'Confessional' pages appear to be the
and college students. UMass Amherst, where I teach journalism, also has a
. But, the existence of the high school's Confessions page, and more importantly, the tone and nature of some of the posts, raised a whole new set of questions about the safety of my children. Are parents and administrators doing enough to prevent bullying? How do we deal with children who are clearly in pain but feel their only outlet is anonymous posts on Facebook? Do we want these Confessions pages to continue to exist? I live with my three children in a small town outside of Amherst – one of several towns that feed into the Amherst Regional High School. My son attends the high school and was aware of the Facebook page – as were teachers, administrators, and, obviously, other students. Parents like myself – and I consider myself fairly savvy when it comes to social media – were unaware of the site. And that can be dangerous. The page's administrator says 'Hate will be ignored' at the top of the page and those who post remain anonymous, but if you want to comment or 'like' a post, your name appears. The page is littered with angst, immature comments and some personal attacks (mostly against teachers.). But, there are also some very clear cries for help. One student even posted a comment about how lonely he was and how he needed friends. While it was nice to see a bunch of students jump in and offer to help this kid, it was clear that he needed some professional help. So, what to do? The future of the Amherst High Confessions page remains up in the air. Some parents at the community meeting wanted to keep the page up, so that they could know when kids are struggling. Others I've spoken with see the page as a place that can hurt rather than help. Sameer Hinduja, co-director of the Cyberbullying Research Center at Florida Atlantic University, told
that: 'It's another creative venue where kids are able to say hurtful things, and that's frustrating.' I've suggested that perhaps a parent moderator might help in dealing with posts that address clearly weighty issues. I've spent my career practicing and teaching journalism, so I'm hesitant to cut off the free speech rights of teens and say such pages should be taken down either by Facebook or local school districts. But, as parents we need to actively be monitoring sites like these – or whatever replaces them. The advice here is simple: Talk to your kids, talk to their friends and talk to other parents. Granted, it can be overwhelming. There is so much technology out there and our children pick it up quickly and easily. Parents today juggle a lot. But being aware of these sites and monitoring them as frequently as possible puts all of us in a better position to help intervene and prevent something awful from happening.

The history of American Open Wheel Racing and its respective national championships are as confusing and intricate as any other aspect of the sport. Controversy between the various sanctioning bodies, participating manufacturers and of course the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has been the rule and not the expectation for the bulk of racing history in the United States.
I have attempted to construct a timeline of events between the various players in the game that is big time racing in the US. This timeline is the first step to a more complete and intricate chronological history hitting the major points in the 117 year history of automobile-turned-open-wheel racing that comprises the history of the series we currently enjoy.
All additional posts will be added to the "Open-Wheel Historical Timeline" tab at the top of the page. No promises to how often this will be updated, but it is a good start and is much more useful in published form as opposed to sitting on my hard drive. As always, all research was completed with due diligence, however I can never guarantee 100 percent accuracy. And as such, any notes, additions or corrections are more than appreciated and requested.
1895 – The first race on American soil is contested. Although this was more of a feasibility test of self-propelled carriages, the Chicago-Evanston-Chicago 50 mile contest started an undying love affair between Americans and the automobile.
1899 – The Automobile Club of America (ACA) is formed in an attempt to coalesce US racing. The ACA quickly aligns with the Automobile Club of France (ACF), the world's predominant automobiling organization at the time.
1902 – AAA racing board is formed in opposition to the ACA which was seen as too bourgeois for the blossoming sport of motor racing.
1904 – The AAA Racing Board sanctioned its first race the 1904 Vanderbilt cup. It is unknown why William Vanderbilt chose AAA to sanction his new international event over ACA.
1905 – The AAA Racing Board sanctions the National Track Championship, but is inexplicably cancelled for the 1906 season. This 1905 season was the first time an official points system was applied to a season of racing in the world.
1908 – ACA creates the American Grand Prize in an attempt to break into the international grand prix scene and steal some of the limelight from AAA's Vanderbilt Cup. These contests gave the United States two international level events.
1908 – The ongoing feud between the ACA and AAA was finally put to rest. It was decided that the ACA would sanction all international level events on American soil and AAA would sanction anything else that was left, which turned out to be the winning formula. By all accounts, this decision doomed the ACA and by 1916, AAA was sanctioning all big time racing in the US.
1908 – AAA dissolves the Racing Board to form the Contest Board. AAA's exact reasons for the change have been lost with time, but it was most likely so they could legally oversee all automobiling events, not just races.
1909 – The Manufacturers Contest Association (MCA) was formed in an attempt to gain more manufacturer control over the technical regulations used by AAA at the time. The MCA's insistence to use more stock style racecars and in effect, causing the extinction of American made thoroughbred race machines until 1915.
1909 – The Indianapolis Motor Speedway opens for business.
1911 – The first Indianapolis 500 was contested.
1916 – AAA relaxes the rules to allow purebread race machines back into competition ahead of the inaugural 1916 championship racing season. The MCA had steadily been losing clout in the racing world and ultimately folded at a date unknown. This would mark the first time since 1905 a national champion was declared based on points earned through a season of racing.
1916 – The final American Grand Prize sanctioned by the ACA was contested and awarded points towards the 1916 AAA National Championship. The ACA fades from existence in the coming years and never sanctions another top level contest.
(Note: If you know anything further on the eventual demise of the MCA and ACA, please help me fill these holes.)
1917 – 1919 – the championship is suspended due to WWI. Major sanctioned racing continues uninterrupted however no season champion is crowned.
1942 – 1945 – Championship racing is completely suspended for WWII. No major racing takes place worldwide.
1952 – NASCAR creates the Speedway Division that consisted of stock block open wheeled cars, very similar to the sit up front engine cars seen in the AAA series.
1953 – The Speedway Division awards its last champion and is quietly discontinued.
1955 – AAA withdraws from sanctioning the season championship. The death of Bill Vukovish and the 1955 Le Mans disaster are pointed to as the main reasons.
1955 – The United States Auto Club (USAC) is formed by IMS owner Tony Hulman to fill the void created left by the AAA Contest Board. USAC becomes the arbitrating body for the Nation Championship.
1979 – The first season of the newly created Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) is contested. The Sports Car Club of America would sanction this inaugural season so the series would be recognized by the FIA and included on the international motorsports calendar.
1979 – The USAC championship is seen as the de facto national championship and continues to sanction the Indy 500
1980 – CART and USAC form the Championship Racing League in an attempt to combine the competing series. IMS management rejects the idea and the season is abandoned after Mid-Ohio and USAC does not contest another championship event in 1980. CART continues its season and with this decisive victory becomes the dominant national championship sanctioning body.
1981 – USAC Gold Crown Championship struggles to maintain a solid schedule. The last paved oval outside of Indianapolis is held at Pocono this year sealing the Gold Crown championships fate. The series would consist of a handful of dirt ovals along with the still USAC sanctioned Indy 500.
1985 – The USAC Gold Crown Championship now consists of a single event: the Indianapolis 500. Its winner holds the dual honor of being crowned both the Indy 500 champion as well as the Gold Crown Champion.
1996 – The Indy Racing League (IRL) is created and its first season contested in response to the increasing foreign diversity, diminished importance of oval racing and rising costs of the CART Championship. This will mark the first time since 1984 that USAC will sanction more than a single championship level event in a calendar year. CART still maintains its national championship albeit without the Indy 500 included on its schedule for the first time since the inception of CART.
1997 – After multiple officiating gaffs, the IRL kicks USAC out of the official's seat and moves sanctioning in house. USAC will never sanction another championship level event.
2004 – CART declares bankrupt and its assets are purchased by Open Wheel Racing Series. OWRS morphs into The Champ Car World Series and contests its first championship season.
2008 – Lacking the financial assets to contest the 2008 season, Champ Car filed for bankruptcy and its assets folded into the IRL. 2008 marked the first time the Indy 500 and the national championship are sanctioned by a single unified body since 1978.
So that's phase one. History is always fun and I can't wait to add to it once the off season gets to be nearly unbearable. See anything wonky, have a request or want to float a suggestion? Contact me through the usual routes. This started as a random idea and has grown into a crowd sourced project; yes, there are other parts already framed and research is underway to complete future additions to this timeline. I have no idea how large this will grow but maybe we can create some semblance of informed historical accuracy in a confused sport with a fractured past.

Why did we pick this as the lead into the post? Well, for one, we're big sci-fi geeks here at Mingle Media TV and two we loved AMC's "The Walking Dead" series! Congratulations to Frank Darabont for receiving 6 nominations! We got to speak with Michael Rooker, who was one of the characters (living) that you loved to hate this week at the Italia Film Festival at Grauman's Theatre. Here's a little about what he had to say:
So if you're not familiar with The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films – well, you're in for a treat as this is their 37th Annual Saturn Awards nomination announcement and leading the charge is Christopher Nolan's mind-bending sci-fi thriller "Inception" with 9 nominations. It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow at the Oscar's as Inception is also nominated for Best Picture.
More nominee's are: Overture/Relativity Media's "Let Me In" and Disney's "Tron: Legacy" downloaded 7 nominations apiece, Clint Eastwood's thought-provoking "Hereafter" received 6, while "Alice in Wonderland," "Black Swan," "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1," "Never Let Me Go" and "Shutter Island" earned 5 nominations each .

GENERIC NAME: INSULIN ASPART PROTAMINE/INSULIN ASPART - INJECTION (IN-sue-lin AS-part PRO-tah-meen/ IN-sue-lin AS-part)
BRAND NAME(S): Novolog Mix
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: Insulin aspart protamine/insulin aspart is used along with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar. It is used in people with type 1 (insulin-dependent) or type 2 diabetes. This product is a combination of two man-made insulins: intermediate-acting insulin aspart protamine and rapid-acting insulin aspart. This combination starts working faster and lasts for a longer time than regular insulin.Insulin is a natural substance that allows the body to properly use sugar from the diet. It replaces the insulin that your body no longer produces, thereby lowering your blood sugar. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
HOW TO USE: Read the patient information leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using this medication and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.Follow all package directions for proper use/injection/storage of the particular type of device/insulin you are using. Your health care professional will teach you how to properly inject this medication. If any of the information is unclear, consult your doctor or pharmacist.Do not inject cold insulin because this can be painful. The insulin container you are currently using can be kept at room temperature (see also Storage section). Wash your hands before measuring and injecting insulin. Check the product visually for particles, thickening, or clumps before rolling and turning the container. If any are present, discard that container.To avoid damaging the insulin, do not shake the container. Gently roll and turn it between your palms at least 10 times. If using a cartridge or pen, turn it upside down so that the glass ball moves from one end to the other. Gently mix the insulin until it appears evenly white and cloudy. If it does not appear this way, discard it.The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Measure each dose carefully, and use exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Even small changes in the amount of insulin may have a large effect on your blood sugar levels.Before injecting each dose, make sure the injection site is clean and dry. Inject this medication under the skin of the abdomen, upper arms, or thighs, usually twice daily, 15 minutes or less before the morning and evening meal or as directed by your doctor. Do not inject into a vein or muscle. Eat promptly after taking this insulin to avoid low blood sugar (see also Side Effects section). Change the location of the injection site daily and do not reuse the same site for two weeks to avoid problem areas under the skin.Do not mix this product with other insulins or use it in an insulin pump.Use this medication regularly as directed by your doctor in order to get the most benefit from it. Carefully follow the insulin treatment plan, meal plan, and exercise program your doctor has recommended. Monitor your blood sugar on a regular basis. Keep track of the results, and share them with your doctor. This is very important in order to determine the correct insulin dose. Tell your doctor if your blood sugar measurements are too high or too low. Your dosage may need to be changed.If you are measuring doses from vials, do not reuse needles and syringes. If you are using the cartridges or pens, use a new needle each time. Learn how to discard needles and medical supplies safely. Consult your pharmacist for more information.

The symptoms include chills, cold sweats, blurred vision, dizziness, drowsiness, shaking, fast heartbeat, weakness, headache, fainting, tingling of the hands/feet, or hunger. It is a good habit to carry glucose (sugar) tablets or gel to treat low blood sugar. If you don't have these reliable forms of glucose, raise your blood sugar quickly by eating a quick source of sugar such as table sugar, honey, candy, or drinking a glass of fruit juice or non-diet soda. Tell your doctor immediately about the reaction. To help prevent low blood sugar, eat meals on a regular schedule and do not skip meals.Too little insulin can cause high blood sugar (hyperglycemia). Symptoms of high blood sugar include thirst, increased urination, confusion, drowsiness, flushing, rapid breathing, or fruity breath odor. If these symptoms occur, tell your doctor immediately.

Synopsis by Jeremy Wheeler
A paraplegic ex-marine finds a new life on the distant planet of Pandora, only to find himself battling humankind alongside the planet's indigenous Na'vi race in this ambitious digital 3D sci-fi epic from Academy Award-winning Titanic director James Cameron. The film, which marks Cameron's first dramatic feature since 1997's Titanic, follows Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a war veteran who gets called to the depths of space to pick up the job of his slain twin brother for the scientific arm of a megacorporation looking to mine the planet of Pandora for a valued ore. Unfortunately the biggest deposit of the prized substance lies underneath the home of the Na'vi, a ten-foot-tall, blue-skinned native tribe who have been at war with the security arm of the company, lead by Col. Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang). Because of the planet's hostile atmosphere, humans have genetically grown half-alien/half-human bodies which they can jack their consciousnesses into and explore the world in. Since Jake's brother already had an incredibly expensive Avatar grown for him, he's able to connect with it using the same DNA code and experience first-hand the joys of Pandora while giving the scientific team, led by Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver) and Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore), some well-needed protection against the planet's more hostile forces. On a chance meeting after getting separated from his team, Jake's Avatar is rescued by Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), a Na'vi princess, who brings him into her tribe in order to give the humans a second chance at relating to this new environment. When word gets out of his increasing time with the alien species, Quaritch enlists Jake to do some reconnaissance for the company, as they'd like to persuade the tribe to move their home before taking more drastic measures to harness the treasure hidden below. Yet as Jake becomes one with the tribe and begins to understand the secrets of Pandora, his conscience is torn between his new adopted world and the wheelchair-bound one awaiting him when the psychic connection to his Avatar is broken. Soon battle lines are drawn and Jake needs to decide which side he will fight on when the time comes. The film was shot on the proprietary FUSION digital 3D cameras developed by Cameron in collaboration with Vince Pace, and offers a groundbreaking mix of live-action dramatic performances and computer-generated effects. The revolutionary motion-capture system created for the film allows the facial expressions of actors to be captured as a virtual camera system enables them to see what their computer-generated counterparts will be seeing in the film, and Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning Weta Digital visual-effects house supervises Avatar's complex special effects.

Longtime readers and serious Nats fans are familiar with Hugh Kaufman, aka Rubber Chicken Man. Kaufman is best known for the signs he displays from his seats behind the Nationals Park home dugout, but more significantly, he has been sacrificing rubber chickens to break various Washington Nationals' strings of bad luck since 2005.
The ritual has inspired Kaufman's followers to create Chicken Mode t-shirts, and even pitcher Gio Gonzalez jumped on the bandwagon, wearing one on FOX 5 News, and asking Hugh to make him and the other players some chicken soup (Kaufman obliged).
2012 has been largely devoid of panic, the lone exception being in May, when a string of injuries led manager Davey Johnson to actually call for a chicken sacrifice. Dutifully, Kaufman delivered.
Which brings us to the National League Division Series playoffs.
With the Nationals suffering consecutive crushing defeats at the hands of the St. Louis Cardinals, and facing the first playoff elimination game in team history, Kaufman has announced a rubber chicken sacrifice to take place Thursday at 1:30pm outside the Nationals Park center field gate.
The unsanctioned event is open to the public.

One of the most commonly asked questions here on Scent Hive is; What is my favorite foaming cleanser? Up until this point, I've never had an emphatic answer. There are several that I really like, Kahina Facial Cleanser and John Masters Rose Foaming Face Wash being among them. Both of those do a great job of cleansing, smell terrific and are gentle on the skin. But they don't foam, I mean really foam into a lush lather. It might be a psychological thing, but there are times when I want that serious foaming action. Whether it be after a hard work-out or in the summer when my skin can get a little oily, I want a cleanser that delivers the soapsuds!
I bought a bottle of Nahla Beauty's Forest Mint Cleansing Milk several years ago when the company's name was Talulah Skincare. I was very impressed with it at the time, but since I try so many different skincare lines, it fell off my radar. Then I found a 15% off coupon at Leaping Bunny (the promo page is still up so check it out) which renewed my interest.
I received my bottle a few weeks ago, and I now find myself asking; Why did I wait so long to order again? This milky smooth cleanser whips up into a luxurious lather which feels so soft and nourishing. My face is thoroughly cleansed after use, and never feels dry or taut. Its scent is indeed minty, but not a cooling way. It's more herbal than menthol with hints of sage and thyme. I love that the first ingredients are hydrosols of rose, calendula and St. John's wort. You'll find jojoba oil a bit further down the list which adds to the preferred gentle touch I mentioned.
Now that Forest Mint Cleansing Milk is back in my possession, you can be sure I won't be without it again. Its gentle efficacy and superb foaminess will keep me coming back for more, but Nahla Beauty's commitment to using all natural ingredients that are handmade in small batches as well as their exceptional customer service is what ultimately has turned me into a devoted customer.
If you have oilier skin or combination skin in the summer months like me, you might want to consider Nahla's Geranium Sap Purifying Cleanser. I bought this cleanser last summer while visiting the Strange Invisible Perfumes boutique in Venice, Ca. when my skin was "acting up". It helped get some blemishes under control, but never dried out my skin. The Geranium Sap cleanser is definitely stronger than Forest Milk, so if you have very dry skin, I don't recommend it. During the colder months I only use it when I need a really deep cleansing. Its scent is strongly redolent of geranium, so do take that into account. I adore the vibrantly herbaceous scent, but I'm sure it's not for everyone.
Nahla Beauty does offer samples and sample kits, so I encourage you to go that route if you're looking into this line for the first time.
Forest Forest Mint Gentle Foaming Cleanser is $36 for 4oz. Geranium Sap Purifying Cleanser is $32 for 4oz. They're a little on the high end, but so worth it as a little goes a very long way with both of these cleansers.

As he descended to the seafloor in one of his favorite dive spots, his eye was drawn to something off to the left. With a couple strong kicks, he closed the distance, causing the feature to fill his field of view. The gears in his brain turned, processing the visual data pouring in, but the search returned no explanation. He was looking at an intricate pattern carved into the seafloor sediment, perfectly circular. Too geometric to be created by a flopping or scratching creature. Too deep and remote to have been made by some drunken prankster. What did that leave? A chill ran down his spine…
Sounds like the opening sequence to the latest Hollywood sci-fi offering about secret, ancient civilizations or alien visitors (or possibly both). Well, it's not, but feel free to grab some popcorn.
The circle is real, and it was laid out by an ambitious puffer fish off an island south of mainland Japan. After photographer Yoji Ookata stumbled upon it, he dragged an NHK camera crew out to the site, leading to a program with the over-the-top title of, as translated, "The Discovery of a Century: Deep Sea Mystery Circle" (photos available, but no video). They found that a male puffer fish created and decorated the structure to attract an egg-laying female. That behavior is strikingly similar to bowerbirds, as University of Chicago evolutionary biologist Jerry Coyne noted on his site.
A more detailed English-language account can be found on a Japanese design blog called Spoon & Tamago.

Rocking at 50: Rolling Stones to tour again
LONDON — You can't always get what you want — but if your desire is to attend a Rolling Stones concert this might be your lucky day.
The legendary band said Monday it would return to the stage this year with four concerts in Britain and the United States. The shows will take place on Nov. 25 and 29 at London's O2 Arena, followed by gigs on Dec. 13 and 15 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, just outside of New York.
The shows mark the first time in five years that the Stones have performed live, with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood all coming together once more. The band said it was the "crowning glory" of celebrations marking its 50th anniversary of its first gig.
"Everybody loves a celebration, and London and New York are two good places to do it in!" Jagger said in a statement.
The Stones have sold more than 200 million records, with hits including "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," ''Street Fighting Man" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want."
But in recent years much of their income has come from touring. Their last global tour, "A Bigger Bang," earned more than $500 million between 2005 and 2007.
Their legions of fans will hear era-defining tracks such as "Gimme Shelter," ''Jumping Jack Flash," ''Tumbling Dice," ''It's Only Rock and Roll," plus a few surprises and other classics from GRRR!, the multiformat album coming out in November.
"GRRR!" is a greatest hits collection that includes two new songs "Doom and Gloom" and "One More Shot," recorded recently in Paris — the first new recordings since the 2005 album "A Bigger Bang."
The band promises an all-new, custom-built set design, featuring the tongue and floppy lip logo, that will "reach out into the crowd." A wider tour is not planned, though the Dec. 15 performance will be available on pay per view.
The tour comes despite some famously testy times.
Richards and Jagger have been creative catalysts and sparring partners — sentiments aggravated two years ago when Richards published his autobiography "Life."
They've nonetheless appeared amicably together during events that marked their 50th anniversary. A documentary about the band, "Crossfire Hurricane," premieres at the London Film Festival on Thursday.
In another milestone marking their five decades of music, the Museum of Modern Art in New York will host "The Rolling Stones: 50 Years on Film," a retrospective chronicling the band from the mid-1960s until today. This exhibition will be open Nov. 15.
All ticketing information is available at www.rollingstones.com

My family has been on the Internet since 1998 or so, but I didn't really think much about Internet security at first. Oh sure, I made sure our eMachines desktop (and its 433Mhz Celeron CPU) was always running the latest Internet Explorer version and I tried not to use the same password for everything. But I didn't give much thought to where my Web traffic was going or what path it took from our computer to the Web server and back. I was dimly aware that e-mail, as one of my teachers put it, was in those days "about as private as sticking your head out the window and yelling." And I didn't do much with that knowledge.
That sort of attitude was dangerous then, and the increasing sophistication of readily available hacking tools makes it even more dangerous now. Luckily, the state of Internet security has also gotten better—in this article, the first in a five-part series covering online security, we're going to talk a bit about keeping yourself (and your business) safe on the Web. Even if you know what lurks in the dark corners of the Internet, chances are you someone you know doesn't. So consider this guide and its follow-ups as a handy crash course for those unschooled in the nuances of online security. Security aficionados should check out later entries in the series for more advanced information
We'll begin today with some basic information about encryption on the Internet and how to use it to safeguard your personal information as you use the Web, before moving on to malware, mobile app security, and other topics in future entries.
SSL and TLS, the invisible security blankets
The most common kind of Web encryption is one many users probably don't even notice. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure protocol, or HTTPS, encrypts standard HTTP Web traffic using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols. TLS is the newer of the two and is more frequently used by modern sites, but since they're functionally similar, they're often lumped together as "SSL/TLS" by security gurus. The newest version of the SSL protocol is 3.0, and TLS 1.0 can be thought of as SSL 3.1 if it helps you understand the relationship between the two. HTTPS is used most often in cases where sensitive or personal data is being transmitted—usernames and passwords, financial information, and webmail clients are all commonly encrypted. Regular webpages often aren't, though alternate, HTTPS-protected versions of sites like Wikipedia are slowly becoming more common.
HTTPS establishes an encrypted connection between the Web browser you're using and the server you're accessing. Data is encrypted before being sent to the server over the Internet, and the data is only decrypted once it has safely reached the server—the same is also true for information sent from the server back to your browser. In standard "symmetric" encryption, a key used to encrypt and decrypt data is the same. In asymmetric public key cryptography, by contrast, a public key that's available to anyone is used to encrypt data that can't be deciphered without a secret-but-mathematically-related private key. HTTPS uses a combination of the two to keep unauthorized parties from decrypting sensitive data.
Another vital part of the protocol involves verifying that the server and its public key belong to who they say they belong to. An encrypted connection isn't worth much if all of your data is being received and decrypted by someone running a bogus server (a phenomenon known as a "man in the middle" attack in security circles). To properly prove the identity of your Web server (and to verify that your public key belongs to who you say it does), you need a public key certificate signed by a recognized certificate authority (CA). CAs are trusted entities who, for a sometimes hefty fee, will give you a "signed" digital certificate that verifies your identity when browsers visit your site.
Server administrators can still encrypt traffic without coughing up for one of these signed certificates, but these "self-signed" certificates don't do any reliable identity verification and thus are more easily spoofed. Most browsers and other programs are also designed to distrust self-signed certificates specifically because they're easier to fake, and they will generally throw up scary error messages discouraging users from visiting any site that uses them. It's insecure, and it's a bad user experience.
The weakness of this system is that a CA is only as trustworthy as the CA's own security policies make it—if the CA is compromised, every certificate that it has ever issued should also be treated as compromised. That, however, is another article.
With this whole certification process mostly out of the user's hands, the best thing you can do to protect yourself when transmitting private information is to be aware of what sites use HTTPS and what sites don't, and to be on the lookout for properly signed certificates. Most browsers will display an image—generally a padlock icon—in the address bar to denote that you're looking at a secure site. These icons can sometimes be spoofed, so you should always look for the "HTTPS" in the address bar to be sure.
If you ask it to, your browser can also tell you just about everything about the certificate and the encryption algorithms that a given site is using—we'll be using Google Chrome in our screenshots, but this is stuff that just about any browser can do.
Clicking the browser's padlock icon while visiting Facebook, for example, gives us the most relevant information about the certificate and its encryption algorithms: the certificate has been signed by VeriSign and the connection uses TLS 1.1 with 128-bit RC4 encryption. Clicking the Certificate Information link will display even more information about the certificate itself, including its expiration date and more data about the entity the certificate belongs to.
SSL and TLS encryption is all well and good—and use of the protocols is becoming increasingly common—but the fact remains that they can only protect the connection between your computer and one site. Many sites still communicate using plain-old unencrypted HTTP. If you want to protect all of your traffic at once—especially if you're on a public Wi-Fi network where anyone could be trying to intercept your encrypted and unencrypted communications—you might want to protect yourself using a virtual private network (VPN).
